Good choice!

I ended up with my Matrix 350 under similar circumstances after WV passed full inclusion with an ill-conceived 18" minimum arrow length limit. I wasn't about to buy 18" arrows for my Micro just to hunt here.

In my case, I ended up bagging two 8-pt bucks with the Matrix 350 the first season I hunted with it, albeit both killed over the mountain in Virginia. After one season with the new bow, they changed the law to 16" and last year I legally hunted with a crossbow in WV for the first time happily carrying a Micro.

Hopefully you have similar luck with your new bow on your new property while your waiting for the laws to catch up.

I have a friend with similar quandary in Michigan for late muzzleloader season in December. He didn't own a muzzleloader, and any modern ML worth owning would outshoot any shotgun. He traveled into the woods with the 20ga, but kept a borrowed POS muzzleloader in the vehicle. Both make the same hole, so who's to know.

They will catch up to him, and it'll cost a lot more than a muzzleloader.

When I hunt my own 50 acres I use my Axe. On state land (right next door) I use a Matrix 310 with a forward swept riser. Of course both bows are devoid of shiny stickers. Join the NYCC and soon we can get the laws changed so that the DEC decides the hunting regulations and not dumbass bureaucrats in Albany.

Right. They will take the deer, the shotgun, the POS muzzeloader, and maybe even the truck. But to be nice they will give him a fine to take home. And he probably won't have to worry about hunting in MI for 5 to 10 years so he'll have ample time to find a good deal on a ML

Yep, had that conversation. Not everybody views regulations through the same lense of right & wrong. Hunting regs are MUCH more black & white and more strictly enforced than "eight you skate, nine you're mine".

This is a true story, not precise to last detail as my memory is NOT what it once was. Anyway, I'm hunting all day, with a late breakfast / early dinner warm up & eats in the truck with my cousin's husband. ML season, Dec 9th I think it were. We walked into the woods exactly as we left for the break, and about 600 yards off the main road we come upon a dressed out doe. Hmm, we didn't see anyone at the lot, twas empty. We hunted until dark, we did not kill a deer. On our walk out with our flashlights going BOOM we got hit in the face with a spot light. DNR says turn off our lights and sit down. In the dark he says he busted one poacher and his partner had him locked down in the lot, but his BUDDY was in the woods. About 15 minutes later he gets the call all clear, second suspect apprehended. We walk out with the ranger, and there are two guys in cuffs with three doe in the back of the truck, and two tags between them. They told the second guy that was dragging the third doe out when busted that they were going to confiscate everything, including his vehicle, which was a newer Ford Big ass 4X4. Anyway, he was crying like a little girl, and we were freaking out a bit too, and like a couple good DNR boys that they were, they checked to make sure we popped our caps off our muzzle loaders before we got off the road, 15 minutes earlier with the crap still in our pants. We did when we got out of our stands, which is the law, no loaded guns after legal hours.

Don't think you can pull one over on these guys, I have three run ins and nothing gets past them. Do it right, or just don't do it.

Anthony it's simple....contact one of the Game Wardens in your area and ask him point blank the questions you would ask one of us!!

There is the best advice in this whole thread. If he says a 310 is ok, then ask him for a letter to carry with you that it is ok. Bowfishing and shooting from a moving boat is allowed, I carry a letter stating that because the police think it is not legal. Police here feel bowfishing is hunting, and they do not think about it being in fishing regulations and exempt from the shooting from a moving vehicle law (not written in either regulations specifically about shooting from a moving boat). Not a lot of fun being in handcuffs and locked in a police cruiser for an hour till they figure things out what you tell them the law is. :) CHEERS!
